Oh, is it Stalling Time™ again?
Feb. 20th, 2013 05:01 pmWednesdays are long days. Even the short days, like today, are long. Not bad, mind, but long.
Good thing 1: Got Page out the door in time to meet the bus, rather than delay the bus.
Good thing 2: I made waffles for breakfast and snacks. And Page liked the unflavored waffle topped with melted cheese.
Good thing 3: I am officially the treasurer of this college's chapter of Phi Theta Kappa. (It's the easiest, least time-consuming leadership position available. I figure if I'm going to be a member of an honors (leadership-oriented) organization, I might as well actually participate.)
Good thing 4: Lab was all about the microscopes! I was reminded why I hated using a microscope in 7th grade, but once I adjusted my eyes accordingly, it was fun. I saw two and a half of my cheek cells (one looked like it was just about to divide as there were clearly two nuclei, but they were adjoined. That could have been a depth issue, though...) I admired the beauty of the soaked tea leaf fragment. Really. It was something I would paint. I saw a poor squished sea monkey wiggling its thingy (not tentacle or flagella... pilli? Do animals have pilli?). And I saw ink sparkle.
(Definitely going to have to get a microscope. Too bad ones of that quality will be WAY out of reach. But even an affordable one should be fun for Page and me. And maybe even Geoff.)
Good thing 5: I have tea with a friend tomorrow morning to look forward to.
ETA Good thing 6: OMG I WANT THIS!
The not so good are also there (35 pages of accounting to read, and 60 pages of biology to review (and preferably understand) for the test on Friday (hence the stalling); left lunch at home; etc.), but overall, I think it's been a good day.And seeing as I haven't received a phone call from Page telling me to pick him up, I think the evening might be okay as well. It has potential, anyway. Oops, spoke too soon. Page is in fine-persecuted-form thanks to a communication mix-up. He wanted to be picked up, the after-school teacher didn't call. Ach well. Too bad for the kid.
